Description of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) Pupal Developmental Stages: Indications of Prolonged Diapause
(2014)The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the key pest of sweet and sour cherries in many European countries and west Asia. It is a univoltine species of the west Palaearctic zone ... -
Eccentric exercise affects the upper limbs more than the lower limbs in position sense and reaction angle
(2010)In this study, we investigated the effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and reaction angle of the elbow and knee flexors. Twelve males underwent two eccentric exercise sessions involving a randomized crossover ... -
Effect of aerobic training on (99m)Tc-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile ((99m)Tc-sestamibi) uptake by myocardium and skeletal muscle: implication for noninvasive assessment of muscle metabolic profile
(2008)Aim: The effect of long-term endurance training on skeletal muscle and myocardial uptake of (99m)Tc-sestamibi, a radiopharmaceutical accumulating in the mitochondria, was investigated. Methods: Twenty-six Wistar rats were ... -
The effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and joint reaction angle of the lower limbs
(2007)Impaired position sense and impaired joint reaction angle of the lower limbs after muscle-damaging activities is a serious functional limitation that may lead to an increased risk of injury, particularly in older populations. ... -
The effects of muscle damage on running economy in healthy males
(2005)Published information on aspects related to Muscle damage and running economy is both limited and contradictory. To contribute to the current debate, we investigated the effects of an eccentric exercise session on selected ... -
Enhancing Differential Evolution Utilizing Proximity-Based Mutation Operators
(2011)Differential evolution is a very popular optimization algorithm and considerable research has been devoted to the development of efficient search operators. Motivated by the different manner in which various search operators ... -
Equal volumes of high and low intensity of eccentric exercise in relation to muscle damage and performance
(2005)We examined differences in muscle damage and muscle performance perturbations in relation to the same volumes of high (HI) and low intensity (LI) of eccentric exercise. Untrained young healthy men (n = 12) underwent 2 ... -
Evolving cognitive and social experience in Particle Swarm Optimization through Differential Evolution: A hybrid approach
(2012)In recent years, the Particle Swarm Optimization has rapidly gained increasing popularity and many variants and hybrid approaches have been proposed to improve it. In this paper, motivated by the behavior and the spatial ... -
Geographical variation in adult life-history traits of the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2012)To understand the evolution of local adaptation, the interplay between natural selection and gene flow should be considered. Rhagoletis cerasi L. (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a patchily distributed, stenophagous species of ... -
Hardware-friendly Higher-Order Neural Network Training using Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms
(2010)In this paper, we study the class of Higher-Order Neural Networks and especially the Pi-Sigma Networks. The performance of Pi-Sigma Networks is evaluated through several well known Neural Network Training benchmarks. In ... -
The Integrative Role of Sport in Multicultural Societies
(2013)Sport participation has been recognized as an important socializing agent; the sport environment is considered a suitable setting for the development of social and moral values, particularly for youth. Therefore, it can ... -
Performance of Myzus persicae (Hemiptera : Aphididae) clones on different host-plants and their host preference
(2003)The performance of eighteen clones of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) on pepper and tobacco plants at 20degreesC and L16:D8 and the choice of young adult apterae between tobacco and pepper leaf-discs were examined. The clones were ... -
TIME-COURSE OF CHANGES IN OXIDATIVE STRESS AND ANTIOXIDANT STATUS RESPONSES FOLLOWING A SOCCER GAME
(2010)Fatouros, IG, Chatzinikolaou, A, Douroudos, II, Nikolaidis, MG, Kyparos, A, Margonis, A, Michailidis, Y, Vantarakis, A, Taxildaris, K, Katrabasas, I, Mandalidis, D, Kouretas, D, and Jamurtas, AZ. Time-course of changes in ...
